Demography
Demography is the statistical study of populations, especially with reference to the structure, size, composition, distribution, and trends within a population. It involves analyzing factors like birth rates, death rates, age distribution, migration patterns, and other social and economic characteristics of a population - age, sex, race, marital status, etc. Demographers use this data to understand how populations change over time and how these changes affect various aspects of society, such as the economy, healthcare, and education.
